HEY idols m'new here and the first order of business is t'make some cash so here it is. My name is Shandy cuz why the heck not I guess and this is m'lecture live. And my lecture is this--apparently some of you guys wake up in the morning, slam a clown nose on yer face with a resounding honk, and choose death not cuz of I GUESS WE PLAY DEATH GAMES HERE BY FORCE but cuz death games ya just WANNA do? You just WANNA fight to the death and then apparently I GUESS m'unit glues ya back together?

I dunno, man. I just got here and seems like necromancy is on the menu. So don't just go dyin' on people for laughs and pride.

Unless ya got a big ol' tip waiting for the Pep servicin' ya! In which case call on me and this Shandy'll be right there to help out all the well paying clowns without a single comment about how much yer clown makeup is running down yer face.

Be generous or else uh.

[checks phone for live info notes, squinting]

I dunno, I'll "discipline" ya. Bite ya maybe.

Class now open for questions and I'm now open for preemptive payments into the I Might Die For Clown Reasons fund. Generous payment will be remembered!

Senior. Someone more experienced than I am in a higher position.

[rugpull]

...I guess cuz m'so new that's everyone for me.

[heavyliesthecrown]

If you are not used to the term, there is no reason you must adopt it if it is not part of your culture. We are from all over the world, from different worlds, and different realities. There is no one correct way of speaking.

. . . Well. One should endeavor to be polite. But you do not strike me as bacon.

[rugpull]

Naw, I'm a hyena not a boar.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Are you a real one...?

[ Well... a person version of one? He isn't... sure what to call people with animal characteristics and features. ]

What I mean to ask is are those natural? Or are they a corruption?

[rugpull]

Why would they be a CORRUPTION? I'm a beastman! Are ya gonna call me a demon too? Course these are natural!

[ears flattening]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ His own ears flatten. ]

A beastman...? I apologize, but I've never heard of such a term before. I only ask because my own are not. It is not my intention to offend. Some of us have gained such features since coming here, and so I didn't know.

Your ears are charming, So please do not feel insulted. I do not have a problem with them one way or the other.

[rugpull]

So yer not like me huh....

[heavyliesthecrown]

I apologize. I imagine one would feel a little more comfortable if they had others who were similar in nature. I do believe there is a man upon BARiTONES who has ears. Though I also do not know if that is because he is a beastman or if he gained them as a result of this place.

[rugpull]

The tall lion guy? Thanks, maybe 'll ask some time.

[heavyliesthecrown]

That is correct. We only spoke once, but he seemed to be a reasonable fellow. I hope for both him and your sake that it turns out he is a beastman, as well. That would be ideal.

[rugpull]

Yeah.

...buuuttt I should assume most people are uh. Corrupted with.

Being like me.

[heavyliesthecrown]

It can be different for everyone. They won't always manifest as animal features. It is a little difficult though? For instance, do the clothes where you come from accommodate for wings and tails? I had found someone who was willing to alterations, but then they were transferred. It was quite disheartening.

[rugpull]

. . .

[lifts his jacket and turns around to show the very on purpose built in button and zipper for his tail hole]

[heavyliesthecrown]

Did your clothing come like that or did you mend it yourself??

[rugpull]

They came like this.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Ugh. They don't try and help those of us with corruptions at all.

[ Annoyed. This just means that they CAN. They just don't! ]

I suppose they think we deserve that as some sort of ridiculous punishment.

[rugpull]

It can't be that hard a fix, can it?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I have absolutely no skill when it comes to sewing. The servants likely never felt that was something I needed to learn.

Well, the wings are the more troublesome of the two. They make things difficult to put on alone since garments generally need tied or fastened in the back.

[rugpull]

Well what about magnets then?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ !!! ]

What a marvelous idea! ☆ Magnets! I never thought of utilizing them before! ♪

[rugpull]

But asking for help ain't so bad ya know.

[heavyliesthecrown]

To some extent, I am a little embarrassed by it. But you are right.

I trade between sleeping at my own dorm and at my cousin's. We switch every night and he's helped ever since he stopped avoiding me. It's very convenient. ♪

[rugpull]

Y'got family here??

[heavyliesthecrown]

Unfortunate as it is. He arrived some weeks ago. He is going by Natsume, and he resides in Taisho. We're about the same height and build, though his hair is pink, and he lacks the fox-like appearance I currently possess.

He is quite adorable, so you shouldn't be able to miss him. ♪
